We disagree on use of the word "cause." If out of despair over the world situation I kick my cat, that doesn't make U.S. imperialism the culprit. I don't think we will settle that argument. In this vein, I *do* deny that 9/11 was simply "a retaliation." I do *not* deny that the retaliatory *aspect*, such as it is, is a legitimate topic of discussion.

I think your use of the word 'fascist' is too loose. "Very bad" and fascist are not necessarily the same thing, the former being a more general expression.
